I guess this is a bad time to sell my old ledger nano s devices that ive had for a couple years and dont use, and dont want, and haven't tampered with.

I don't think hardware wallets are dead. I think QR code based wallets are the future, if you can verify your hardware and firmware and the only connection to the outside world is a camera and screen. In that case, unless the RNG is borked (like coldcard) its safe so long as the encryption itself isnt broken, in which case the currencies are fucked with our without hardware wallets.

I do think big vendors are kind of fucked too, because the more a supply chain scales the less safe it is. They're gonna be FOSS and open hardware, QR oriented, and small manufacturer or they're going bust.
